The willy speaker observed Fairfax close
ly during these words, but the face of that
individual was as immovable as that of a
statue.

The same waltz was still in progress in
the ballroom. The same enhancing
strains enticed the nimble dancers to per-
form feats of grace and skill, but Fairfax
was no longer the same. He waltzed me-
chanically
Lydia perceived the change and felt
piqued at it, but was more annoyed with her
self for allowing such an interest in an un-
known American, 50 far below her in rank
Presently she said:
"Let US stop and go into the hall.''
There she found her chaperon, who re-
minded her of the late hour.
Turning unexpectedly to Fairfax and
looking him full in the face with her mar
velous eyes, she held out her hand with the
sweetest of smiles and said, in a manner
that ought to have melted the most frigid
heart:
"Mr. Fairfax, am very glad to have met
you, and I hope that we may meet again.
Will you not call upon US, here, with your
friends And, should you come near US in
England I trust you will look US up.n
Fairfax, in a stiff, pre-occupied way,
bowed assent and thanks.
Lydia blushed angrily, but quickly recov-
ering herself, babe him goodnight" in
her most charming manner.

He hath writ many letters to his friends,

Probably it is true, as the Re.
publican papers assert, that Mr.. Cleve-
land can not be compared with Mr..
Blaine as an orator. In such COM
parison the advantage is greatly on
the side of Mr.. Blaine. But it i.
equally true that Mr.. Blaine can not

honest man. In such comparison
the advantage is greatly on the side OF
Mr.. Cleveland. - Chicago Times.
The Presidents speeches have
needed no apology. They have been
good speeches throughout One of the
surprises in Mr.. Cleveland's career has
been the effectiveness with which he
has used his brain IN the composition

TRIXY'S LESSON.

An Adventure Ina a Tub-Why There Was
No Wood Party.
"'Tisn't any use, Trixy-Pm going
to try. know we can 60 rowing in ii
'thout any danger, The reason the
boat ism t safe is because it's SO long
and narrow. Now. this is not, and il
you were not so 'fraid we could have
a good time" and Clara threw herself
down on the bank almost ready to
cry.
Trixy was tender-hearted little
girl, and was always getting into
trouble because Clara, when she did
not agree with her, acted as If her
feelings were very much hurt. Trixy
could not bear to see Clara unhappy.
and in all their disputes, or in any
difference of opinion, Clara had her
way.
The little girls were standing on the
bank of shallow stream that ran
through the farm which their father
had bought but a short time before.
Trixy and Clara were twins. and in
separable companions. It was rarely
that they had difference of opinion,
OF that in their plays they got into mis-
chief. It was a beautiful spot where
they stood. The water was SO clear
that the white pebbles in the bottom
of the stream were plainly in sight;
sailing merrily along on the water
were the bright autumn leaves that
floated slowly down from the maple
trees on the banks, which were cover
ed with carpet of MOSES, green and
gray, with the bits of coral moss, like
red bead embroidery. scattered through
the green.
Here Trixy and Clara stood beside a
washtub which had been brought into
the orchard by the men to carry
apples. The little girls had carried it
to the water, and now Clara wanted to
launch it and take sail. She was
sure that they could have a lovely
time if only Trixy would not be so
hateful. and refuse to go. Clara knew
that Trixy would yield; it was only a
question of time. So she threw her.
self on the bank and pouted, looking
very unhappy.
Trixy looked so distressed, and said:
''You know, Clara, mamma said we
were not to CO."
''She said we were not to go in a
boat. A tub. great broad tub, is not
a narrow boat that tips over if you
move" answered Clara, as she kicked
stone spitefully with her foot.
Trixy watched her. and at last, just
as Clara knew she would, said: We'll
60 just the tiniest way
Clara jumped quickly to her feet.
and soon the two little girls had
launched the tub, and Clara was in it,
pushing it toward rock where the
water was deeper and would float it
with Trixy's added weight
Oh! what fun! The tub was so deep
that when it lurched from side to side
the children did not get wet At first
Clara kept near the shore, but as she
became more excited she grew reck-
less, and before Trixy knew what she
was doing they were in the middle OF
the stream. Clara pushed the tub with
a pole. while Trixy crouched down in
'front.' laughing. but not very happy.
for she really was afraid, the tub
lurched SO. Suddenly there
was bump and splash,
and both little girls found them
selves in the water. They were

frightened.

tremendously frightened. They
scrambled to their feet with water
dripping from their hats 90 they could
scarcely see When they stood up the
water was up to their knees. and was
cold as ice. What should they doP
The tub was floating fast down the
sire am, and the shore was very rough
with rocks and trunks Of dead trees.
Clara screamed with all her might and
chung to Trixy in terror. Don't
Clara, don't" said Trixy; you'll
make me cry. Let US walk to that big
rock and call Papa I'm sure he'll
hear u.s. And Trixy began pulling
Clara toward the rock, which they
called Plymouth Rock, and on which
they always stood when their papa
took them rowing and played pill
grims. Trixy pulled Clara toward the
rock, which was in the middle OF the
stream. Both children were trembling
with cold. and scarcely able to walk.
just as they reached the rock their
papa came hurrying through the
woods, having heard Clara's voice
The little girls clambered on
the rock just as he pushed
the boat in the water. He called out:
sit still, girlies! I'm coming" and in
few minutes the little girls were in
the boat and as quickly as possible
were taken to the house, and their
clothes taken off and tucked up in
bed. Saturday they expected NUM-
Der. of little friends to go into the
woods for the day, but mamma was
compelled to send notes to them say
ing that Trixy and Clara were too i'll
to leave the house. So the beautiful,
bright Saturday which they expected
to spend so pleasantly with friends
was spent in their own room in bed.
Trixy learned lesson; Clara found
that it was no use to try to persuade
Trixy to do thing if she thought her
mamma would say mo" II she were
there. She always said: 81 know
mamma did not say we must not do
just this very thing. but it's part OF
what she meant She would say no If
she were here" And Clara knew she
was right Christian Union.

A GIRL KING.

How the Little Daughter OF Gustavus
Adolphus Was Placed ON the Throne Of
Sweden.
There were tears and trouble in
Stockholm; there was sorrow in every
house and hamlet in Sweden; there
was CONSERVATION throughout Protes-
tant Europe. Gustavus Adolphus was
dead! The Lion of the North had
fallen on the bloody and victorious field
of Lutzen, and only a very small girl
of six stood as the representative of
Sweden's royalty.
The States of Sweden-that is, the
represen tatives of the different sections
and peoples Of the gathered
in haste within the Riddarhaus, or
Hall of Assembly, in Stockholm.
There was much anxious controversy
over the situation. The nation was In
desperate strait, and some were for
one thing and some were for another.
There was even talk of making the
government republic, like the State
of Venice; while the supporters of the
King of Poland, cousin to the dead
King Gustavus, openly advocated his
claim to the throne.
But the Grand Chancellor, Axel
Oxenstiern, one of Sweden's greatest
statesmen, acted promptly.
LET there be no talk between u.s."
he said, '-of Venetian republics or Of
Polish kings. We have but one King
the daughter Of the immortal Gus
tavusi''
Then up spoke one of the leading
AZ. Il
Lars LARSON, the deputy from the
Western fords.
'.Who is this daughter of GustavusP"
he demanded, rudely. How do we
know this is no trick of yours, Axel
Oxenstiernp How do we know that
King Gustavus has daughtere We
have never seen her."
you shall see her q once, " replied
the Chancellor; and leaving the hall
he returned speedily leading by the
hand diminutive, but by no means
bashful-looking little girl With a
sudden movement he lifted her to the
seat of the high silver throne tn at
could only be occupied by the kings
of Sweden.
''Swedes. behold your Kingr''
Lars LARSON, the deputy, pressed
close to the throne on which the small
figure perched silent, yet with def
ant look upon her little face.
'.She hath the face of the Grand
Gustavus," he said. Look, brothers,
the nose, the eyes, the very brows are
his"
AYE" said Oxenstiern; s.and she
is a soldiers daughter. I myself did
see her, when scarce three years old,
clap her tiny hands and laugh aloud
when the guns of Calmar fortress
Numbered salute. She must learn
to bear it, said Gustavus, our King;
She is soldiers daughter
Hail, Christinar' shouted the as
sembly. won by the proud bearing of
the little girl and by her likeness to
her valiant father. 1--WE will have
you and only you for our Queenr'
Better yet brothers." cried Lars.
LARSON, now her most loyal sup
porter; '.she sits upon the throne Of
the Kings; let her be proclaimed King
of Sweden"
And so it was done. And with their
wavering 10y atty kindled into sud-
den flame. the States of Sweden gave
a mighty shout and cried as one
man: Hail, Christina, King Of
